EQ Sponsors Virtual Quilting Bee

Electric Quilt is excited to be a part of the Toledo Museum of Art's COVID-19 Virtual Quilting Bee! This quilting bee is inspired by the upcoming exhibition Radical Tradition: American Quilts and Social Change at the museum. Participants are asked to design a quilt block (using whatever materials they like) with a message about the COVID-19 pandemic. If you'd like to submit a quilt block, the deadline has been extended to June 22, 2020.
